I'd like to share this winter bench image from a local garden.

@Dave, great tone and texture in that garden shot mate, nice contrast.
@Edd, some of the programs allow you to slip in a gradutaed filter in the post processing, that may just cancel out the blown out lights in this one Edd, because they tend to detract a little from the building. But I do like the leading lines that the lights form and take the viewers eye into the shot.

This gangsta dog is too cool. Or is that Sean hiding under that hood???
Here's a shot of my place the day after I lost the remote control for the flat screen. I looked everywhere.

Here is one of some wild elephants crossing a stream. Taken during a recent trip in Sri Lanka.
I hope you enjoy it!

Denise - If you keep making shots like that, you may get the opportunity to shot the cover for the Suburban Rapper someday.

Some ice from Lake Michigan today. I liked how the balls of ice and large chunks of ice mixed together to cover the surface. I hope you enjoy.

Interesting shapes, Pat. I've seen this before in the Antarctic. According to my notes, the small balls are called "shuga" and the large chunks are known as "pancakes". Apparently, they go with the floe (thought I'd get the pun in before Steve)

That is cool Pat, I've never seen anything like that in my sheltered life before, thanks for posting.

Andy and Steve:

Thanks. When I was packing up for the day, I could not resist taking a few shots of the ice flow. Maybe I am a little weird, but they turned out to be my favorite shots of the day.
